Your new HQ for connection, collaboration, and Motor City energy. It’s an honor to officially welcome you to the SKOOL IRL: Detroit community. This space is designed to be our collective launchpad, where relationships are formed, ideas get traction, and the unique spirit of Metro Detroit fuels everything we build together. I’m deeply invested in this region. Detroit isn’t just a dot on the map—it’s a case study in resilience, innovation, and reinvention. We’re sitting at the crossroads of legacy and future disruption: - A city that built the world through automotive manufacturing and now leads the charge in mobility, automation, and advanced tech. - A culture that never quits, grounded in blue-collar grit, entrepreneurial courage, and the kind of community loyalty you can’t fake. - A creative ecosystem that spans Motown, street art, architecture, design, and a sports culture that runs straight through the city’s bloodstream. - Metro Detroit—from the burbs to the riverfront... where the diversity of people, talent, and industry creates one of the most dynamic business and creator environments anywhere in the country. This community is here to bring that energy into one place. Here’s what this space is designed for: - Meaningful in-person connection with people who actually want to collaborate, not just collect contacts. - Local knowledge-sharing—business, tech, leadership, art, culture, and everything in between. - Events, workshops, and meetups that drive actual value, not just social noise. - A rising-tide ecosystem where creators, founders, builders, and professionals support each other’s missions. As we kick this off, drop an introduction below. Share who you are, what you’re building, and what part of Metro Detroit you call home. Let’s start mapping the network that will shape what SKOOL IRL: Detroit becomes. This city has a legacy of building things that matter. Now it’s our turn. Welcome to the community—let’s make something powerful together.

Here's an idea for one of our IRL events, possibly next winter when we're all stuck indoors again. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DV9ViffFD1t/?igsh=bGQwNTg5bHl0NG4y

I have to cancel the co-working for next Tuesday April 28, 2026 due to some personal conflicts. We will return back to regular schedule in May.
